Macroalgae tank! :)

[hhanj11]

Hi all!
I tried to find some info online but there are very few websites talking about macroalgae tanks. I am new to this and just got my first 10 gallon tank! I hope this is the right thread to post under. I wanted to post and ask people for some recommendations on how to get started and also best places online to buy macro algae and invertebrates (I know of gulf coast ecosysystems and mosaic macros but lots seem to be sold out....). I plan to get some reef sand soon and at least get the water in so I am welcome to any amount of info people are willing to give! Super excited :)

Hello and welcome to Reef2Reef!

Here is the build thread from a macroalgae master. It is filled with info!
Hopefully he, @Tigahboy will also chime in!

Good luck with your build. Mactoalgae tanks are really beautiful!

Good luck, its a fun little project. I started my 10 gallon macro algae tank about a year ago. Welcome to R2R

Look at KP Aquatics, they also have some macroalgae. Its not their main focus but what they have is nice.

I had really good experiences with mosaic Macros : https://mosaicmacros.com/?srsltid=AU7gw4V1IcFVnV_crmZdRvDt_PtLI-6nJwbIErZd36W6AYCqPpsNtDYT

I also have a softies / macro tank, so I'll post some of my thoughts here when I have a moment
